Director Martin Scorsese on Killers of the Flower Moon, visiting Oklahoma, getting a feel for Osage culture, and why this film is like a bolero.
The Big Picture From Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Eric Roth, and based on the bestselling book by David Grann, the western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon explores the 1920s murders of members of the Osage Nation and the mysterious circumstances surrounding them. At the center of it all is the relationship between Ernest Burkhart and Mollie Kyle , a woman with ties to her family’s riches and a personal connection to some of the victims.
MARTIN SCORSESE: I had an experience in the seventies where I began to become aware of the nature of what the situation was and still is. I had been unaware of that because I was too young. I was in my twenties, and I just didn’t know. It’s taken me years. I’m fascinated by, how do you really deal with that culture in a way that is respectful, and also isn’t hagiographic and doesn’t fall into the noble native and that sort of thing.
The film takes place in Oklahoma, and you were adamant about shooting the movie there. When was the first time you visited Oklahoma and what was your impression? How did you begin to visualize the film taking place there? People are going to be really impressed with Lily Gladstone’s performance. What was the first scene that you shot with her?
SCORSESE: In the case of Robert De Niro, we were teenagers together. He’s the only one who really knows where I come from, the people I knew, and that sort of thing. Some of them are still alive, and he knows them. I know his old friends. We had a real testing ground in the seventies, where we tried everything and we found that we trusted each other. It’s all about trust and love. That’s what it is.
